Purple kimono

Original

Last Updated: 04-10-2012

At the end of my photo session for my green kimono, my photographer and I were chatting, and I mentioned that I had a couple of other kimono that I would love to get pictures in. She responded with, "How about tomorrow?"
This is one of my favourite kimono, even if it is too short for me! It's also the first kimono that I ever bought, so it has a special place in my collection.
Kimono undies, kanzashi, okobo, etc, were all made by me. The wig is a lace-front synthetic wig that I styled the day before the shoot. :)
